21 Months

A few happenings from the past month:

• Favorite Song: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (sometimes she'll sing the last line), It Ain't Me Babe
• Favorite Food(s): Fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, peanut butter on a spoon, Eggo cinnamon toast waffles
• Favorite Obsession: blowing bubbles in the bathtub
• Favorite Book: ALL books, nothing in particular this month
• Favorite Word: Lally (Sally, the dog)
• Favorite Shows: Toy story 3, handy manny, mickey mouse clubhouse and other big girl movies
• As we drive the curves on the BA, will say “wheeeeeeee”
• Started noticing “owies” and says it in the sweetest voice.  She also likes to kiss others' owies.
• Emmy has graduated to drinking milk out of normal hard spouted sippy cups! (She’s been off a bottle since a little over 1 year old, but has been drinking her milk out of soft spouted sippy cups)
•  Lower left incisor finally cut through
•  Walking is a THING OF THE PAST!  Tip toe-ing around and running are Emmy’s new talents.
•  She is putting two words together now, “hi mama”, “dada home”, “puppies no”, “puppies walk”…and many others that we can’t really understand
•  I follow a lot of statements with, “ok?” to which she replies “tay” with an up and down nod
• We are getting less bratty no’s and the revival of the “yes” nod
• Emmy has thoroughly enjoyed swim lessons.  She is blowing bubbles, going under water, kicking, moving her arms and floating on her back (with assistance).
• Occasionally does a perfect downward facing dog, we simply call it “doing her yoga” and sometimes she’ll do it when we ask.
• Seems like Little Miss has grown up SO much this month, I’m wondering what happened to my baby.  As any parent would say about their own child: she is the smartest and most beautiful little girl in the world.
